"a Lamb at School"

Most of our young readers will be
surprised to hear that the well-known
nursery song of" Mary Had Little
Lamb" is q true story, and that
"Mary" is still living. About sew
cnty years ago she was little girl,
the daughter of farmer in Wor-
chester county, Massachusetts. She
was very fond of going with her ia
Their into the fields to see the sheep,
and one day they found baby-lamb
which was thought to be dead. Kind
hearted little Mary, however, lifted
it up in her arms, and, las it seemed to
breathe, she carried it home, made it
Il warm bed near the stove, and nurs-
cd it tenderly. Great was her de-
light when, after weeks of careful
feeding and watching, her little pa
Uient began to grow well and strong,
and soon after it was able to run
about. 1t knew its young mistress
perfectly, always came at her call,
and was happy only when at her
side. One day it followed her to the
village school, and, not knowing
what else to do with it, she put it I'M
der her desk and covered it with her
Shewl. There it stayed until Mary
was called up to the teachers desk to
say her lesson, and then the lamb
walked quietly after her and the 9TH
or children burst out in laughing.
So the teacher had to shut the little
girls pet in the wood-shed until
school was out. Soon after this a
young student, named John Roll
stone, wrote little poem about
Mary and her lamb and presented it
TO her. The lamb grew to be sheep
and lived for many years, and when
at last it died, Mary grieyed so much
for it that her mother took some of its
wool, which was "as white as snow. -
and knitted pair of stockings for
her, to wear in remembrance of her
darling. Some years after the lambs
death, Mrs. Sarah Hall, a celebrated
woman who wrote books, composed
some verses about Mary's lamb and
added to those written by John Roll
stone, making the complete poem as
we know it.
Mary took such good care of her
stockings made of her lambs fleece,
that when she was a grown.up wo.
man she gave one of them to a
church-iair in Boston. AS soon as il
became known that the stocking
was made from the fleece of g." Mary's
little lamb" every one wanted a
piece so the stocking was raveled
sut and theyarn cut into short pieces.
Each piece was tied to a card on
which " Mary" wrote her full name
and these cards sold so well that they
brought the large sum of one hun.
dred and forty dollars to the Old
South Church

out OF the conditions of modern

the digestive organs and of the

were formerly treated as sepa-
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal compli-
cation lies chiefly in the disord.

digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus:-"If we can in

CHICAGO, Nov. 7.-Lous Lingg is def

his oldest suit of clothes, pair Of grey
corduroy trowsers and black jacket,
put his feet upon the little iron cot and
began to read a paper. His cell is On
the lower tier and looks out upon the
examining cage. The reporters may OBJ
serve him at distance of eight feet.
Lingg was restless, and every few min
utes would jerk his head around and
stare through the CRATE door with wild
look. Presently he got up, planted him
self in front of the cell door, thrust his
hands into his pockets and looked
straight before him upon the contracted
field of his vision. He saw nothing but
the watchful clusters of reporters and
nervous. He would lean against the

of his coll, and rest his face on his hands.
A favorite attitude was to stand firmly
erect, fold his arms over his broad chest

LONDON. Nov. 7.-BefOre the candi.
dacy of Henry George in New York for
mayor, his ideas on the land theory had
taken root in England, and he has had
many warm admirers. The large vote
that Mr.. George received gave sort of
boom, even over here, to the followers
of the doctrine which he taught, and
frequent meetings have been held, and
indeed some prominent people are iden-
titled with the movement. A large
meeting was advertised for to-day at
Trafalgar square, but the rain poured
down in torrents, and the affair was
not quite the success expected. Never
theless fully 1000 gathered
IN SPITE OF THE STORM.
Besides the usual warning from the
police against sedition and rioting. there
was no interference ON the part of the
authorities. The concourse was adj
dressed by Rev. Hadlam, Miss Drake,
Dr.. Burrows, Mrs. Besant and William
Saunders, the eX-member of parliament,
who is great power among working
men. Mr.. Saunders was chairman of
the meeting and he detailed the objects
of the movement which he represented.
They are based on the lines laid down
by the Anti-Poverty society. founded by
Henry George and DR.. McGlynn, and
cover nearly the same grounds in Eng
land as the latter do in America. Mrs.
Besant asserted that meetings would
continue to be held frequently and
urged her hearers not to use any incen-
diary language that the authorities
could take action against and thus
bring the new doctrine into discredit.
THE SECRET SUAIIONING
of DR.. Mackenzie to San Reno admits
of two solutions. Either Dr. Mackenzie
goes to his royal patient to decide on
the advisability of his return to Berlin
in case he should be suddenly called
there, or else he goes to make a fresh
diagnosis of the crown princes throat.
The latter supposition would almost
seem to be verified by the presence of
two additional physicians of the princes
own countrymen. If this be true it
seems rather alarming, but it may be
that DR.. Mackenzie simply desires the
other physicians to be present to bear
him out in his previous diagnosis.
Prof. Stuart advises Mr.. Gladstone to
withdraw the accusations he has made
against Agent Col. Doffing for his con-
duct of evictions and thus put an end to
the libel suit which the latter has begun
against the grand old man.

GOV. OGLESBY.
He Gets Big Mail, Including
Many Threatening Letters.


SPRINGFIELD, H., Nov. 7.-The As
sociated Press representative called at
the executive mansion this morning,
and interviewed Gov. Oglesby regarding
the threatening epistles which he has
received during the past few days from
the anarchist sympathizers. 81 am
very much afraid" said the governor,
THAT that matter has been exaggerated
as such reports usually are. 1t is quite
true that have received threatening
communications, but they have never
alarmed me. Most of them have been
received within the past week, or since
the refusal of the supreme court of the
United States to take up the matter,
and they have usually consisted of un-
signed kilograms and postal cards, with
now and then sealed letter. / have
never wished to alarm my family, and
for that reason, together with the fact
that 1 attach no importance to such
threats, these communications have
been generally consigned to the f1ames."
THE GOVERNORS MAIL
this morning was composed of little
over 100 letters, nearly all of which re-
lated to the anarchist case. This is an
increase over any previous day, and the
proportion of the requests for clemency
is also said to be somewhat greater than
yesterday. Chicago as usual furnishes
the bulk of the mail ON this subject, and
a considerable number of the letters are
said to have been marked personal OF
confidential. This is quite needless
precaution on the part of writers, as no
one but the governor sees his anarchist
mail. 1t is significant fact that most
of the communications are devoid of any
firm label or printing of any kind what
ever that would indicate the identity of
the sender. This, together with the fact
that so many of the letters are marked
personal, would convey the impression
giving their views to the governor under
the seal of confidence, and have decided

On Brea ad and Water.

DUBLIN, Nov. 1.-THE Freemans'
Journal says that Messrs. O'Brien and
Vaudeville, at Tullamore prison, have
been put on diet of bread and water as
punishment for resisting the wearing
of the prison garb.
The governor of Tullamore jail to-day
refused the demand of Mr.. MoOrhead, a
Catholic magistrate, to see Mr.. O'Brien,
but, on learning that magistrate had
legal right to hold intercourse with a
prisoner. sent for Mr.. MoOrhead and in
formed him that the desired interview
would be granted, stipulating, however,
that he himself should also be present.
Mr.. MOorhead says that the atmosphere
in O'Brien's cell, together with bread
and water diet, is likely to have fatal
effect on a consumptfye person. The
breaking down of Mr.. O'Brien'S consti-
tuition, he thinks, is only a question of
time. Mr.. Moorhead asked Mr.. O'Brien
whether he had any complaint to make
regarding his treatment, and Mr..
O'Brien replied that his system had not
been excited by the undue severity of
the officials. Mr.. Vaudeville, Mr.. Moor
head says, appeared cheerful and deter

sympathy, tidal in its nature, tremen-

The papers were metaphOrically on
their knees in the presence of the seven

lists, politicians, aspirants of every sort

humanity except policemen, were

George Francis Train, with his bushy

petitioners crowded on each others
heels, anxious and eager to show that
they, at all events, did not believe in
hanging these dear men, and, therefore,
were not fit and proper subjects for the
vengeance that is threatened. The rud-

assembled at the railway station to well

Sullivan occupied. In the eagerness to
catch a glimpse of the pugilist many
men jumped on the roof of the car. The
excitement was great. When Sullivan
alighted from the car he was presented

CHICAGO, Nov. THE 200 officers
Of the central detail who have been on
reserve duty at the Desplaines street
station since Friday. were reused up at
I:SO this morning. and two minutes
later they were all dressed and armed
with rifles. Word had just reached the
station that men were drilling at Zep's
hall, where the armed sections of the
various anarchist groups used to meet
before the Haymarket explosions. An
officer especially detailed to watch the
hall saw a man hurrying along the side
walk. hugging the buildings close and
carrying a Valise. At that early hour
the appearance of a suspicious charac-
ter near Zep's hall, on the heels of the
early scare of the evening, was enough
to cause this unknown party to be fol
lowed. He stole along softly until he
came to the entrance to the hall.
Then he
Started Up Stairs.
Here he was overhauled and the valise
taken from him. 1t was the sound of
the men drilling on the floor overhead
that caused the officers to communicate
with the station. Lieut.. Fitzpatrick got
his men in marching order in little
while and a few minutes later they
were at Zep's hall, but it was deserted.
Those in possession of the place before
the police arrived lost no time in get
ting away. Who they were was not
learned, but the remainder of the night
an additional watch was put on the
scene and kept there till daylight. The
valise did not contain dynamite or eX-
plosive bombs. as the police thought,
but was filled with anarchist circulars
and a lot of tickets for an entertainment
to be given shortly for the benefit of
the families of the convicted bomb
throwers.
A Number of Bombs
were found to-day by the police on West
North avenue. For obvious reasons the
police decline to 60 into particulars.
Chief Ebersold said this afternoon: I'VE
are doing everything that can be done.
Some anarchists in the city are being
followed so closely that they are trying
to get rid of bombs and dynamite in
their possession. The bombs we found
had been discarded and were not placed
where they were discovered with the
intention of blowing up anything.
More than that cannot say now"
